Films like Four Brothers.

Four Brothers (2005) reads as Sombre, breathless, extreme action / crime, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
